Chapter 38 She is indispensable for this autumn hunt!"Okay, doesn't Lord Li have some urgent matters to deal with at home recently? Since it is not true that you have been slandering the court officials and leaking important court affairs, then Lord Li should return immediately!" The emperor at the top spoke slowly and made the final decision. The finishing touch of "there are some urgent matters to be dealt with at home recently" almost made some ministers present burst into laughter! Fortunately, Emperor Xuanwu did not pay attention to the expressions of these people who were trying to suppress their laughter. He waved his hand and asked them to leave as well. Soon, Emperor Xuanwu, Yun Shu and Yun Chuhuan were the only three people left in the huge imperial study. Emperor Xuanwu sat in front of the dragon table and suddenly sneered: "You're quite smart." "Father is so complimentary." Yun Shu smiled modestly: "I am just a little clever." Emperor Xuanwu: “…” Well, a little bit of cleverness, and a lot of shamelessness! Emperor Xuanwu glanced at her unhappily, and inadvertently saw Yun Chuhuan, who was looking around and seemed to be hesitant to speak, and he became even angrier: "What do you want to say again, kid?"
"Father..." Yun Chuhuan was already feeling uncomfortable, and now that Emperor Xuanwu had taken the initiative to ask, he immediately showed a flattering smile: "How can you only praise Fifth Sister? I also have a share in the Capital Weekly Report! Isn't my son smart? " Emperor Xuanwu: “?” It's so stupid that it gives him a headache! Hasn't this Lao Liu ever thought about why his fifth sister asked him to review the manuscript just before the publication of this issue of the weekly magazine? And why did you bring him to the imperial study today? Emperor Xuanwu closed his eyes. He really didn't want to continue discussing this issue, so he simply changed the subject: "The autumn hunt is about to begin. Would you two like to go together?" "I'm going!" Yun Chuhuan would never refuse anyone an opportunity to eat, drink and have fun. He nodded decisively: "Father, you always said that I was too young to go, but this year I must go!" "Ah." He is eight years old now, so he could have gone. Emperor Xuanwu nodded slightly and looked at Yunshu again: "Where's you?" "My son..." Yun Shu hesitated. If it were before, she would definitely agree without hesitation like Yun Chuhuan.
After all, she had never seen the ancient royal autumn hunting. But ever since the last time she and Yun Chuhuan rode out of the palace in a normal-sized carriage, Yun Shu had a psychological trauma about carriages. But this is even on the relatively flat roads in the capital. The hunting ground... In order to be responsible for his own butt, Yun Shu still asked: "Father, how far is it from the palace to the hunting ground?" "The royal enclosure is not far from the capital, probably only five days' journey." Emperor Xuanwu raised his eyebrows: "how?" "nothing……" Five days! That would take ten days of carriage ride to and fro! Wouldn't this break her apart? Yun Shu laughed dryly: "I just suddenly remembered that I seem to have some idea about the method of making low-cost paper. Why don't we just forget about the autumn hunt? I don't know how to ride or shoot anyway, so why not stay in the palace and see if I can make some progress!" That's fine. It's just an autumn hunt, so don't force yourself to go if you don't want to. Emperor Xuanwu was about to nod his head and agree, but the familiar light screen appeared in front of him again. 【The Sims selection system is at your service. Please select the decision you would like to make next: A. Agree to Yunshu's request to stay in the palace; B. Insist on taking Yunshu to participate in the autumn hunt. 】 Emperor Xuanwu tentatively clicked on the first option. [You chose A, the crown prince was deposed, and the eldest prince was exiled to the imperial mausoleum.] what? ! Emperor Xuanwu's face changed drastically. He stared closely at the short but informative line of text on the screen. His hands, which were covering the table, slowly tightened. His fingertips turned white at the edges because he pressed too hard. How could this happen? What happened during this autumn hunt that caused such serious consequences? Emperor Xuanwu's breathing became rapid. Fortunately, he still remembered that Yun Shu and Yun Chuhuan were still standing in front of him. After a brief moment of rage, Emperor Xuanwu forced himself to calm down and chose the second option. [You chose B and lost your favorite incense burner. ] Emperor Xuanwu: “…” He feels a little complicated now. Of course he was extremely grateful that the future of the crown prince being deposed and his eldest son being exiled to guard the imperial mausoleum could be changed.
But between the two options, the only variable is whether to take Yunshu with you or not. How on earth did she have the ability to single-handedly turn such serious consequences into... this weird thing? What does it mean to lose a favorite incense burner? What does this have to do with Ding! The emotions in Emperor Xuanwu's eyes changed from time to time. Yun Shu was bewildered. She really didn't understand why her stepfather reacted so strongly when she just didn't want to go on the autumn hunt. She cautiously asked again: "My son...can't I not go?" "Ah." Emperor Xuanwu's emotions had almost calmed down by this time. He looked at Yun Shu deeply and spoke slowly: "I just thought about it carefully. You must go on this autumn hunt." "why?" Unexpectedly, he actually guessed it right. Yun Shu was full of resistance: "But I really want to stay in the palace to study the method of making low-cost paper. Father, don't you also want me to achieve results as soon as possible?" "On the way there and back, or even after you get to the paddock, if you have nothing else to do, you can use that time to slowly work on your method of making cheap paper." Knowing Yunshu's importance in this autumn hunt, Emperor Xuanwu certainly could not be persuaded by her. He in turn tried to convince her: "To some extent, the entourage for the annual autumn hunt also represents my attitude towards certain people. You have just been impeached twice, and now news has spread that you are not on the list of people participating in this year's autumn hunting trip. If someone with ulterior motives gets to know this, they may mistakenly think that you have lost your integrity and do something that is not in your favor. Xiaowu, do you really not mind getting into that kind of trouble?" Yun Shu: “…” She cares too much. She just wanted to lie down comfortably, who did she offend? "Do I have to go?" Yun Shu struggled for a while, but finally couldn't help but express his true thoughts: "Father, I really can't stand the bumpy ride in the carriage! Look at my weak arms and legs. If I get sick or feel uncomfortable on the road, I won't be able to continue on my journey. Not only does it waste time, but it also disturbs your hunting mood, doesn't it?" (End of this chapter)
